Opercile Fortunist

I’ve been having some vivid dreams lately – this morning’s featured a lengthy conversation with Dave Gorman and Billy Bragg.

Probably my favourite tho, was a few days ago when images were coming up of people who liked clowning around – falling over a lot, for laughs.

In the meta-narrative, someone helpfully explained that the terminology they prefer is “opercile fortunist”.

So now I know the technical term for a full time, amateur, comedy stuntman.

Which is nice.
